Last night, I kicked the week off with a 40 minute solo spin workout at my gym. I arrived at the gym, made my way over to the empty spin studio, set up my bike, and turned on my Pop and Hip Hop Power Workout Pandora station. I started off with a 5 minute warm-up…
I’m really excited for April to be here! But first, I have to wish my mom a VERY happy birthday!! My mom is my rock and I don’t know what I would do without her. I hope she has an amazing day today and another amazing year. So March was a really great month and…
Yesterday I read online that a blogger had passed away last week unexpectedly, the day after her 30th birthday. I was so sad to hear that Lorrie had passed away. So young and so determined to live a healthier life. My prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time! Lorrie’s passing really…
So I’m a little calendar obsessed, always have been! I use to search high and low for the perfect day planner when I was in college, using it to map out my daily, weekly, and months commitments. I’d think far into the future, planning out things I’d want to do in various semesters. Not that…
I love goal setting… not going to lie! I am very futuristic, so it’s easy for me to daydream, to set goals for the future, and to create a plan to reach those goals. I’ve always enjoyed sharing my monthly goals and yearly life goals with y’all, but putting my weight loss goals out there…
This year I have been looking at my weight loss goals from a whole new perspective. A while back, my doctor told me that the key to losing weight is determining your reason for losing weight. For some, wanting to be smaller and to weigh a certain amount just isn’t enough to get them to…
Last night while on Facebook I came across a photo of a person I knew back in college. I was rather taken aback when I first saw the photo because the person looked so different from when I last saw them. Back in college I idolized this person because they had lost 70+ pounds on…
Creating new years resolutions can be an incredibly exciting and scary thing all at the same time. You may have something on your list that you’ve always wanted to tackle and want this to be the year, but the bigger question you need to ask yourself is how to keep your resolutions. 1. Take your…
I love new year’s day! I love the fresh start and the thought of all that the upcoming 365 days has to hold. Today I started 2013 with a healthy breakfast. To start I cooked some mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers in a little olive oil. After the vegetables were cooked through I added 1…
Thanksgiving is done, Christmas and Hanukkah have past, and now we have to think about what we did/did not accomplish over the past year. For some, the past year has been everything they wanted it to be, for others it has been ok, and the remainder are counting down the days to 2013. “According to…
I absolutely adore my sister Alison. Our relationship has grown and changed so much over the years. Being 9 years apart, there were times when I couldn’t always turn to my sister for advice (she was 11 and I was 20) but now as adults, our age gap doesn’t matter. Last night I called my…
I think this is the first birthday in which my age has actually hit me. Turning 28 is exciting but it also reminds me of how time flies, how precious life is, and how important it is to make the most of each day. I’m not sure if it’s hitting me more because I am…
My birthday is next Tuesday, WOO HOO, so you know what that means… It’s time to party time to evaluate my 28 by 28 list. So let’s see how I did… Health and Fitness 1. Meet with a nutritionist/registered dietitian -I did a lot of research and ultimately decided not to spend the $500 dollars…

A brand new month never felt so good! I’m incredibly excited to share my August 2012 goals with y’all today! July was such a whirlwind and although I didn’t post any goals for last month, I did have a few… 1. Eat fruits and vegetables whenever possibly while in Europe 2. Walk everywhere 3. Limit…
